Work History
Power system Engineer
Northrop Grumman
01.2023 - Current
- Designed and developed aircraft electrical wiring systems in accordance with SAE AS50881, IPC/WHMA-A-620, and MIL-SPEC/commercial standards, including conductor sizing, circuit protection, and selection of connectors, backshells, relays, switches, circuit breakers, and terminal junction systems.
- Led the modification of the IRIS system wiring diagram for the E-2D program using HarnesSYS, collaborating closely with the avionics team to ensure full connectivity, integration, and system functionality on the aircraft.
- Served as a pioneer user of Siemens Capital Load Analyzer, providing direct feedback to Siemens to improve tool functionality and align it with program and company needs. Completed Capital Logic training to strengthen proficiency in advanced electrical CAD design and analysis tools.
- Collaborated with harness fabrication shops to review build packages, resolve production issues, and validate installation feasibility.
- Managed all aspects of system/component design and development, including trade studies, layouts, architecture definition, system testing & verification, and troubleshooting, resulting in a 15% improvement in design accuracy and efficiency.
- Performed Electrical Loads Analysis (ELA) and developed power architectures, test procedures, and reports supporting aircraft electrical power generation, conversion, and distribution systems, resulting in a 10% increase in system efficiency.
Electrical Engineer 0850/GS12
NAVFAC
10.2019 - 12.2022
- Designed and implemented electric power distribution systems using AutoCAD and ETAP, achieving a 15% increase in distribution efficiency, while managing projects with budgets exceeding $5M.
- Led design tasks and production on electrical distribution projects from low to medium voltage.
- Design of three-phase power systems, motor control center layout and selection, panelboard selections, protective devices selection, conduit, and wire sizing. As well as anticipate long-term solutions for site build-out as client needs to grow.
- Prepared requests for proposals, cost estimates, and schedules for renovation, updates, or innovation projects.
- Prepared In-House design of electrical systems, including building systems, and radial power distribution systems for different types of facilities.
- Validated electrical systems through power studies using SKM software to perform short circuit analysis, arc flash analysis, voltage drop calculations, time current, and protective devices coordination.
- Provide technical feedback during construction through RFI with electrical contractors.
- Engineered and implemented a power distribution system for a large-scale industrial facility, resulting in a 25% increase in energy efficiency and a 15% reduction in operational costs by leveraging advanced simulation tools and real-time monitoring technologies.
Electrical Designer
RS&H
